Fire Trucks Collide While Responding To Ruinous Blaze At Waterfront Mansion

A fire that destroyed a waterfront home was likely caused by a generator used to power the residence following the gale that darkened much of Knox County.

St. George Fire Chief Michael Smith said the Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office determined the origin of the fire was a generator located outside the garage at the home of Bernard Davis Jr.

The fire was reported shortly in the afternoon Oct. 17 on Tyler Lane located at the end of the Clark Island Road.

The six-car garage was flattened in the fire and the second floor of the home was destroyed by fire.

The kitchen and living room on the lower level did not get destroyed by the fire but the chief said that the house is not salvageable.
